    I just hope that these lessons are learned for Qatar. We have enough to open teams up if we actually go for it, and plenty of athleticism on the cover.

    Well done Italy. They were the better team for more of the game. Such a shame that England were so conservative when we could have still attacked and been positive and held our own. One thing that was odd about the final: >the trip on Sterling in the area not looked at >the stamp on Chiesa...

    Kane got the most goals and most assists in the Premier League last season and still didn't get the player of the season award. I doubt there would be much appetite to give him the Ballon D'Or no matter what he does tonight.

    Whatever happens tonight I have to be content with the progress that we've made over the last five years or so. From being eliminated by Iceland at the last Euros, to a semi final exit at the last World Cup, to getting to the final of this tournament. If you'd have asked me before the group...

    I genuinely felt that way. It was Real Madrid and Bayern Munich versus Leeds United and West Ham in midfield, and England hadn't won a knockout game against a top team since the 90's or something. Germany, by contrast, had just battered Portugal 4-2 and been the better team (imo) against France.

    How? The Sterling penalty should not have been given against Denmark, but the one on Kane should have been. There was another blatant one in the Scotland game not given as well.

    I really like him. It's going to be very difficult for him at a dysfunctional team like Arsenal though.

    I feel uncomfortable calling things like that a dive. You feel contact and have a split-second decision to decide what to do. I agree it probably shouldn't have been a penalty, but calling Sterling a cheater because of it feels harsh to me.

    Once the VAR sees the contact from two different Denmark players on Sterling running at pace, the decision was never going to be reversed. I think it's harsh to call it a full on dive though. It's not like the threw himself on the floor after hitting thin air, there's definitely contact.

    There were two very soft fouls for the penalty decision and if it went against my team I would be very annoyed. That said, I thought the one against Kane was blatant. Maybe I'm missing something or I'm just biased, but I couldn't see why it wasn't given. Anyway, credit to Denmark, they've done...

    In theory the golden goal is the best way to end a match that goes into extra time, in practise it feels a bit anticlimactic.

    It's a fun tournament anthem. Calm down. Half of the lyrics are about how bad England have been at the World Cup and Euros. There's a chance that you're projecting.

    I can't believe what the referee did at the end. Those three Ukrainian lads were about to get an appearance in a quarter final at a major tournament and he blew for full time with no added time after thee goals had been scored. I would be fuming if I were them. We've known since 2014 that...

    The problem is that when you hear Southgate talk about him, he seems to expect him to hug the touchline and just go around the outside, which is such a waste of his skillset.

    The media in England care nothing for the team. They save up salacious stories about the players and then release them all when an international meet-up comes around. They love to big up our chances because then if or when we fail, the aftermath is even juicier for them.

    Huh? You can't sign him in that condition.

    ACL was my first thought when I saw him pull up the way he did.

    That's a real shame for Spinazzola.
